Reply To: Weds 1 April Q&A – find out about My Community

Hopefully we will see a variety of communities proposing a wealth of activities that will help boost their local economy. What will unite them all, is that it will be the community which is driving the initiative and will take the form of organisations and groups from the community, public and private sector coming together in their local area.

In terms of nature of projects, we’re keen to see all sorts of planned activities – whether that’s working on a strategy to promote local spending, exploring the possibility of developing a rural broadband co-operative, or working with key organisations to promote community-led housing, this programme wants passionate people who are committed to working together on a local economic plan that can deliver real local benefits.
